Does your heart skip beat when you see ROLEX public signage?

I know for a fact that mine does!

I smile a little bit inside...and then usually look down at my watch and smile again. The effect of some good marketing.

Not sure about an extra beat but I definitely get happy whenever I see a Rolex sign.

Surely this one has been laid on too thick to get too many chomps. Surely?

When I was at Dubai WTC 2017, Feb



On the way back to London from Dubai Airport.



Than I usually look down with a knowing smile as the other poster mentioned.

Not really. I'm lucky to be pretty immune to marketing...or at least that's what I tell myself.

I love seeing the big fluted bezel around the clock face at tennis events.

Does it skip while you're feeling powerful, ambitious and authoritative?

If so, you need to drop the Rolex brand ASAP. It's making you all sorts of ill.

Rolex has some great marketing going on BUT in the last 35 years they failed to reel me in. They finally did it to me this time around.

Extra heart beats ? Hope not, nice watches but that’s about it

If you come to Hong Kong, you'd better bring a defibrillator.

Absolutely, reading the letters ”R O L” together makes my trousers dance, the “E” would have me in paroxysms of pleasure, honestly, I’ve never made it as far as the “X”


Are these posts a cry for help ?

I was thinking the same about Bangkok. If he goes to HK he better just make advanced plans for his repatriation.

My heart skips no beat.

In fact, I wonder why all these shops exist if they have no watches to sell!!!
